Hello.
I was after some advice.
I have a 6month old EBT dog and was wanting another one, but im not to sure about what sex to get.

My immediate advice is dont get one! ;-)

Your other EBT, is still very very very young and no doubt still in training.
If you get another puppy now it could undo any training you may have done, will make training for the puppy much much harder and 2 bullbreeds so close together in age in puppyhood will have your hair turning grey!
Puppys need alot of one to one attention, can you spare that with another puppy only a few months older wanting the same 121 attention?

Its also good for the one you already have to be old enough to show the pup the rules of the house and whats what, Can you not maybe wait till your other dog is mature and completely solid in training so he will be a good influence on your new puppy?
I have a SBT bitch and we are only now getting another when she is nearly 2 years old, she is very obediant and loving and now we feel she would be a good influence, not a bad one! :d :d

if you are still dead set on getting one, and many other people on here will say dont same as me!! then get a mixed sex pair, always easier and better, so I would reccommend getting a bitch EBT. :-)

Thank you for your advice, i will have to take on board what you have said and talk to my boyfriend about it. I really so love the breed and would love another, but have to concider all options.:rolleyes:

I would if I were you, but its meant in the nicest possible way :-)

EBT's are one of my favourites as well, but tey are hard work! Very cheeky and boisterous! :d

Its so tempting to get another puppy when the puppy you have starts to act a lil more mature, but he isnt by a long shot!
Think back to all those sleepless nights you had when you first brought him home, and imagine that with another one to look after of the same age! :d :d we would need before and after piccies! :d

Also the present pup will very soon become a teenager,a nd as with humans that nicely behaved child/pup can become a very difficult adolescent before becoming the charming adult they will be with the correct training and guidance.

In another two years when you are looking for a pup I would advise to find a reputable breeder through the breed clubs.  Even if you find an advert or a breeder by another route please check them out with the breed clubs.

I had 2 EBT sisters from the same litter.They were hard work, I guess like having twins! But at about 3 months old one started attacking the other.(See my posts from dec 05 ). I had to rehome one pup which was heart breaking for me.
Now I still have Molly who is just over 2. Beautiful dog, but typical EBT, stubborn at times, very strong willed & strong bodied, but very loving. Knowing what I know now I personally would have found 2 EBT's very hard work, especially in the teenage years!
Molly, my best girl
